A Government for tho People.

VIII You please state the origin of the definition
of our government as ''One of the people, by the
p;.oplc and for the peope?" S. T. S.
It is contained in the concluding sentence
of Abraham Lincoln'5 speech at Gettysburg,
Oh Nov. 10, 1865. The following is tue
speech:
"Four score and seven years ago our faith
crs brought forth upon this continent new
nation, conceived i'll liberty, and dedicated
to the proposition that all men are created
equal Now we are engaged i'll great civil
war, testing whether that nation or any ia
ton SO conceived and SO dedicated can long
endure. We are met upon great battle
field cf that war We have como here to
dedicate a portion of that field as final rest
ing place for those who have given their lives
that the nation might live. 1t is altogether
fitting and proper that we should DO this.
But in q large sense wo cannot dedicate, we
cannot cOnsecrate, wo cannot hallOw this
ground. The brave men, living and dead,
who struggled here have consccratCd it far
above our power to add or detract. The
world will little note nor long remember
what we say here, but it can never forget
what they did here 1t is for us, the living,
rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here have thus
far so nobly advanced. 1t is rather for us to
be here dedicated to the great work remain
ing before us; that from these honored dead
VIC take increased devotion to tho cause for
which they gave the last full measure Of de-
votion; that we here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vain; that this
nation, under God, shall have new birth OF
freedom and that government of the people,
by the people ard for the people shall not
perish from the earth."

1t is but justice to the correspondents
to admit that without their aid the battles
of the late war would never have been
fully known by the public. One can dis
cover in the perusal of the meager out
lines which remain to us in the shape of
histories of the Mexican war the absence
of the intelligent correspondent Little is
known of that contest save the material
furnished in the official reports. There is
the skeleton-the warm flesh, the pulsat-
ing blood, the expression of life are absent.
No modern war has been so thoroughly
presented to the world as the conflict be-
tween the north and south, and for this
the public is indebted to the representa-
tives of the press. They deserve place
in history. Their reward has been scant.
Soldiers who incurred no greater dangers,
who endured less mental strain and ex-
hibited less judgment, have been pro-
NOTED to paying places, and in case of
their decease or disability, the state cares
for them or their families. The future
offered no such promises to the cores
pondent; what he did was mainly from
the love of his profession. Poliuto" in

Mysterious Ailments-Bright's Disease.
A Foreign Invention.
"a mysterious dispensation of Providence,
truly" remarked lady, returning from tho
funeral of third victim to diphtheria, in one
and the same house. "Humph," replied her
companion, Providence indeedl Mr.. Blanks
cellar is full of rotting potatoes!"
When epidemics Of diphtheria and the Ike
break out in cities, they are usually attributed
TO faulty sewerage, bad conditions Of tene-
ments, etc. When occurring in the country
the supposed abode of pure air and pure
water-their origin is to great many minds
mysterious" "Mr Blanks potatoes, how
ever, would account for a good many cases
In addition to this cause might be mentioned
the contamination of the water supply by a
bad relation of the well to the cess pool and
other excavations; OF even its contamination
from surface drainage. Toward the end OF
the winter we are accustomed to hear of the
ravages of diphtheria in isolated households,
in country neighborhoods and in villages 1t
is then that the filth that has been frozen up
all winter is put into solution and carried by
heavy rains into the well or the neighboring
stream from which water for household use is
drawn-the pure, limpid brook Of the poets
From such a well or brook people fill their
systems with the germs of disease. Ignorance
or disregard of sanitary precautions is too
often the mysterious something" that brings
sudden sickness and death, to households
with the coming of spring, gentle spring.

A Widows Mourning,

In England there is a strictly observed
etiquette which defines tho depth of mourn
ing to be worn in any relationship and the
time of it's continuance. In our country all
this is so much matter of personal option as
to become quite perplexing Trustworthy
authority informs questioners in regard to
widows mourning, that for the first twelve
months the dress and mantle must be of Hem
riette cloth or bombazine The widows cap
must be worn for a year and day and for
that time only. The bonnet should be entirely
of crepe with a widows cap tackled inside,
and is worn with a crepe veil with deep
hem. Crepe cloth is a good material for a
walking or rough dress. After twelve months
have passed, and the widows cap is laid aside,
silk, heavily trimmed with crepe, may be
worn for six months, when the crepe may be
sensibly lightened, and jet fringe or pas
samenteries used. After another three
months crepe may be discarded, and at the
end of two years half mourning may be worn
for four or five months, the change to gray
and lilac being made gradually. For thu
first year the widow should accept no invita-
tions, and it is in the worst possible taste for
her to be seen in places Of public resort. After
the first year she may gradually resume her
place in society. Thus it will be seen that the
longest period of mourning for a widow is
three years

In an article referring to Bright's disease,
Scmmola, of Naples, emphasizes the remark
able sensibility of the skin of sufferers from
this trouble to variations of temperature.
Such patients are exceedingly sensitive to
cold, and he would not allow them to come in
contact with it in any preventable way. Vio-
lent massage and muscular exercise he disap-
proves of, as well as Of cold baths. Each
produces too great shock and depression. The
hygienic treatment advised is to live in dry
and equable climate, to entirely avoid ca
posure or going out in severely cold weather,
and, rather than venture out for exercise into
a temperature below IS or 20 degs., c., to prac-
tice mild indoor gymnastics.

First Advances.

A lady who is fully assured Of her own re-

society. is never afraid to bow first or to call
first or to introduce people whom she may
desire to know each other She perhaps pre-
siimes OH her position, but if she possesses tact
rarely offends by so doing. No one of heart
or mind, says social authority, need feel
afraid to talk and be agreeable to guests at a

even if she meets with a rebuff, she is in the
right. In Europe the roof tree is sufficient

SONG,

What time our lips grew one together,
My love, my life.
Was it in sad or sunny weather,
BY mountain snow or meadow heather
In peace or strife?
What time our souls grew one forever
By night or day,
In growth that blooms and withers never,
Was it by fate or sweet endeavor
That none could stay?
But ah, why ask? For love is better
Than death can be;
Since even earth's bondage, law and letter
Shall bind not love with sleeps cold fetter,
My life, FOR thee.

How to Shake Hands.

There is right and a wrong way to shake
hands. 1t is horrible when ones unoffending
digits are seized as if in a wise and wlung and
squeezed until one feels as if they were re-
duced to a jelly. It is not less horrible to find
them lying in q nerveless, limp clasp that
makes no response to your hearty greeting.
Shake hands as if you meant it-swiftly,
streDuously, courteously, neither using undue
pressure nor falling wholly supine.

Alleged Cure for Pulmonary Trouble.

Alleged Cure for Pulmonary Trouble.
An apparatus to enable a person to breathe
the outside air while sitting indoors in a
warm room is credited to foreign invention.
1t consists of a simple tube communicating
through the window with the external air.
At one end of it an attachment to fit over the
mouth and nose is placed. The inventor
claims that tubercle bacilli are destroyed by
low temperature, and therefore pulmonary
phthisis may he cured by breathing freely
air through this apparatus.
